Ok, I don't know if this has been covered before but I only got Vector Prime the other day. Anyways, I noticed that in vehicle the peg intended to hold his arm in place does not match up with the location of the arm hole:


See, here's the peg on the side of the spaceship:



And here's the hole on his arm:



If you put his arm where it's supposed to go the hole and peg don't match up:



To get it to connect, you have to bend his arm at the elbow, but that displaces his shoulder cover making him look like crap:




So is this a common problem? Or am I just missing something obvious?

 

I've never had that happen. Try leaving it straight and just forcing it into place.

Was it like that in the package?

 

yeah, mines fine too, might be a qc issue. is it like that on both sides?

 

mines fine as well.....

 

i have 3 versions of this mold (the JPN GF version, the US Cyb version, and the US Cyb GF version) and i don't have that problem on any of them - it seems that the fit is really tight on the US Cyb version, but not something like that

 

all 4 vector primes (repaint included) I've played with are like that, you have to push the arm in real good, to get the peg to go in

 

This Vector Prime is from the European TRU VP vs SS 2-pack. From memory both sides were like that, I'll try using a bit more force and see if that works...

 

Yeah My SS 2pack VP, "Galaxy Force Vector Prime" and Galaxy Force "Vector Prime" all require a bit of force.

 

Hmm nope seems that there's no way that it's going to connect without breaking his arms. Ah well.

 

extra force gets the arms on mine to go in, but they won't break.

yours sounds really messed

 

I have the regular VP and the 2 Pack VP... Both are fine...

 

I lost all interest when I saw your avatar.... good work man...

 

Yay someone else with the same problem!

 

It's a crappy mold to start with, so...

 

Yeah I was a bit dissapointed with him too. He looks great in both modes and Safegaurd is pretty neat, but he just feels a bit "meh." Still, he is pretty good. Still gotta put batteries in to check out the sfx...

 

For the price, the transformation is way too simplic. Hightail/Lugnutz is more challenging to transform.

 

I really think the two of you just aren't using enough force.

 

i went home, and played with mine.... and i just think people are scared to break him, mine lines up

 

This is the first time I've read about problems with Vector Prime and mine doesn't have such problem but then again, mine is the Galaxy Force version...
